Are You Tired of Claustrophobic Relocatable Storage Units?

We all know that relocatable self storage units are a great solution for utilizing unused land that may not be fit for traditional ground-up self storage. Unfortunately, not all portable storage units are built with tenants in mind. When units are too small and space is limited, tenants are restricted on the quality and/or size of items they're able to accommodate inside of their units. Not to mention, loading and unloading their valuables can become a hassle! MASS units deliver the same look, feel, and functionality as a traditional self storage, while delivering 40% more cubic sq. ft. than converted shipping containers or foldable shippable containers. That's right, not all portable storage units have to be claustrophobic!

Moving items into a storage unit can be a frustrating and time consuming process, especially when that storage unit is capped out at 8' tall and  8' wide, limiting the height and width of the unit's door. When portable units are expanded to 10' tall and 10' wide, there's the perfect amount of room to unload, load, and store items with ease.

Investing in portable storage units that maximize space benefit not only tenants, but facility owners too. 

 

BENEFITS OF FOR THE TENANT:

With larger openings and more room inside of each unit, no matter the unit mix, tenants can accommodate more items and access their valuables with ease. These units can even be customized with shelving to enhance the organizational needs of tenants, alleviating the game of Tetris each time they need to access a sparsely used item from the back of their unit. Additionally, with the drive-up convenience of portable storage units, unloading and loading items has never been easier. 

 

BENEFITS FOR THE FACILITY OWNER:

More space for the tenant means more rent-able square feet for you. Facility owners can charge a higher rate per unit and achieve greater returns on their investment by utilizing size conscious relocatable storage units. You'll quickly find that tenants are willing to pay higher rates for these units because of the convenience, quality, and experience they're receiving.

Just make sure to follow the best practices when increasing rental rates.
